I “played” around with this Paypal download script, and at the time that I was “playing” with it, I was able to get it to work on a web server; however, it wasn’t without a lot of effort on my part, that I was finally able to get it to work. It was only after thinking about it night after night, trying different things, and reading other users’ posts that I was able to get it to work. That was about two years ago. 3. The bottom line is I know that this product works; at least, it worked for me about two years ago. I don’t know about now. 4. The great thing about this product is it is free. 5. What I would like to see is somebody make a tutorial of how to install it and get it to work on a web server. 6. If you do decide to “play” with this script, let me know how it turned out. 7. Thanks
